TAKP Tentative PoP Release Date

[Whale biologist]

You hoodlums will have to wait until it goes open source to make your single-boxing server, this is about preserving EQmac and its community

[Hakubi]

Shame about the boxing cancer. The biggest case of blueballs to not have a p99 ruleset in PoP era.

[Croco]

I might even be able to put up with boxing if you could mouse scroll until then hard pass.

PoP was great but yea I don't want to have to play 3 toons at once to keep up or get anything done

Honestly the playstyle of certain classes like mage is so simplistic that boxing can actually make the game more dynamic

2box’s are not bad or hard, especially when you do a good pairing like mage+something or cleric+something. Two classes that both require a lot of micromanagement would be a pain. But pick the right class combo and use the hell out of /autofollow and you get used to the constant alt-tabbing in combat

3box is whole different thing. Your third better be a bard auto-playing a song or you gonna be tabbing like a maniac. I can’t even imagine bigger groups than that without some sort of macro or outside-the-game UI assistance

yeah autofollow works extremely well on TAKP, there are legal 3rd party programs like hotkeynet (included in Speedz TAKP client download) that vastly lower your key strokes when swapping windows, or training other skills, or a few other things -- DO NOT abuse this program to automate, the ban hammer will drop.

Autofollow works so well, it reminds me of the /stick command from MQ2

Hotkey lines can do more than on p99 for example: /pause 10; /cast 3, is a legal and extremely useful command. Pauses do not take an entire hotkey line to themselves.

After you figure out hotkeynet, and you set up good in-game hotkeys, you are gonna do really well, then if you want the social aspect, invite other players to your trio.

mouse wheel scroll is still a you being obtuse problem. You got another issue with sunk cost fallacy? Theres nothing stopping you from loading P99 along with TAKP, I often do have both servers up.

Run my mana out on a toon in p99, then screw around with some pulls on TAKP, tab back over to P99 and run that mana out again

No mouse scroll, no play

[Ennewi]

Mouse scroll really does set the RPG time for an MMO. One unclsassic feature of p99 that fits perfectly. It's not first person but close enough.

RPG tone, not time. Autocorrect. Worst. Feature. Ever.
